Successful dressage stallion with a very promising career

Springbank II is an elegant dressage stallion with an impressive exterior. He has exceptional qualities in his gaits with emphasis on fundamental correctness in movement – a highly modern stallion in the overall presentation. In 2017, he confidently won the 35-days performance test with an overall score of 9,54 points. He received a 10.0 for rideability and capacity, with all other marks being above a score of 9.0. In his origin country, Sweden, Springbank II VH was also the superior champion of the championship for three-year-old horses with a total score of 972.5 points. Amongst the above-mentioned awards, he was further announced as the champion stallion of four-year-old dressage stallions in Herning 2018 as part of the Danish Warmblood stallion licensing. The sire, Skovens Rafael, is an international Grand Prix winner with Lotte Skjærbæk and he combines the Grand Prix stallions Romanov, Don Schufro and Zorro Z with each other. The dam, De la Reinne, also produced the older full brother Springbank I, who participated in the final at the world championship for five-year-old dressage in Verden 2015 and is now successful at St. George level. De la Reinne is a full sister to the licensed stallion Dalwhinnie, who is successful under Matthias Jansson in Sweden at Inter I level.
